Huge anxiety

Started a new job. My anxiety levels are through the roof. I know I can do it but I'm being observed while learning and I'm going to shit. Brain is fried by learning so much and I am so self conscious being observed I look like a fucking idiot. Today didn't go well but last Friday did. I get confidence then knocked down. This is a role I've always wanted lots of relevant experience albeit this is a completely new role totally out of my comfort zone of what I have always done before. I'm four weeks in and I am not sleeping and worrying all the time
I don't feel good enough and the self doubt it huge.

I am three weeks into a new job and never felt anxiety like it. New computer systems to learn and a caseload thrown at me without even a chance to get to grips with things. I was not sleeping and feeling constantly in a state of anxiety. I have decided it's not worth it and have handed in my notice. Then again I am older mid fifities and don't need the stress. Fortunately I am going back to my lovely old team and manager. I hope things get better for you.
